Hi-Wire Announces Their December Seasonal Releases

Hi-Wire Brewing has a couple goodies ready to go for December release for all you fans of their Sour & Wild Ale program. This is a good one…

10W-40

Imperial Stout

8% ABV

Brewed with coffee, chocolate and vanilla

Available in 4 packs of 16-oz cans

Limited distro, starting December 22nd

With notes of dark chocolate, fresh vanilla, and roasted coffee beans, this big decadent stout is full-bodied, sweet, and creamy with a smooth finish. From Asheville’s own French Broad Chocolates, the cocoa nibs are fresh and rounded out by milk sugar and Madagascar vanilla beans. Organic Dynamite Roasting Company coffee accentuates the cocoa and adds slight roast to balance out the vanilla in this dessert beer.

Wild Grape Ale

Wild Ale

7.1% ABV

Made with Malbec Grape Must from North East Georgia

Available in 375ml Cork and Cage bottles

Taproom only release

This mature sour blonde ale exhibits aromatic notes of Malbec grapes, red berry, and oak with a light brett character. Big barnyard phenolics meld with the tart fruity character of the base beer to make a super unique Brett forward flavor and aroma. Already a favorite among Hi-Wire’s team of brewers, the Wild Grape Ale is a special release, as it’s only available in the company’s taprooms.
